Well, we know who Kopech will bounce from the rotation

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 29, 2018 -> 10:45 AM) We have also used that money to bring in about half a dozen upper level minor league players, so you can't just look at the total number. Yeah, it's more like Robert, Yzzari, Burr, Vieria and now Pinto.

How to build a bullpen using money you can't spend anyway: an op-ed by Rick Hahn.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Feb 28, 2018 -> 12:46 PM) Every non-playoff team should have an equal shot at any draft pick in the lottery. Not really complex. Then #7 and #8 seeds try to tank in. Maybe equal odds, but you can't have a top 5 pick in consecutive years

QUOTE (Tony @ Feb 23, 2018 -> 04:45 PM) No legs, but saw an interesting post on Twitter. If the bulls get a Top 5 pick, and let’s say the NO pick is like 14, do you trade both for Kwahi? Would the Spurs do it? The Bulls? No for Bulls - you're guaranteed one of Ayton, Bamba, Bagley, Doncic, Jackson, or Porter in that case. On the cheap. Kawhi facing a max contract the following year lowers his value in a deal. I'd do Portis, Grant, a massive TPE, Pels pick and 2019 pick. The Spurs say no unless it gets absolutely toxic. I'd say that's equivalent of what the Bulls got for Jimmy and their own first at the time of that trade. Dunn sucked last year, LaVine was no defense scorer coming up on an extension and trading up in the first. QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Feb 23, 2018 -> 10:21 PM) It looks like Jimmy Butler just tore his ACL. Meniscus, but Thibsball claims another.

Trump says he would have run into the high school even if he didn't have a gun.

Moncada based on speed and defensive potential

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Feb 23, 2018 -> 02:13 PM) Anybody check this out? It's silly as hell but I was entertained. https://grandstandcentral.com/the-next-80-n...im-ad1a78d7a129 2K18 simulation breaking down/predicting the next 80 nba champions. According to this, the Bulls are about to go on a 90's-like run starting in 2023. NBA champs in '23, '24, '26, '27, '28. Again, this is silly and means absolutely nothing. I thought it was at least fun to scroll through. Jordan Bell signs with Bulls for cash considerations

Oh god damnit.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 21, 2018 -> 01:45 PM) Is that a rumor, or an idea? Pie in the sky idea Felicio and the Pels pick might get you their first though, depending on where it lands.

Noah saga growing in NY. Felicio + Zipser for a Top 8 protected pick this year and Noah. That or their 2019 pick

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Feb 20, 2018 -> 09:28 AM) I wouldn’t hold your breath on Mitt saving the day Mittens is already folding.

13 new indictments. Gawd damn.

NRA money is covered in the blood of American children.

QUOTE (SoxFan2003 @ Feb 14, 2018 -> 05:27 PM) It really sucks every time this thread makes its way to the top of the page. Almost a half a year ago this thread was started and nothing meaningful to help stop it has even been proposed. Gotta get that NRA $$$

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Feb 12, 2018 -> 11:38 AM) Lavine was incredible down the stretch. Hopefully it is a sign of the type of player he will be. He was flat out dominating. Electric athleticism mixed with a great shot. If he can learn to play a lick of defense, which it sounds like he's trying to with Dunn pushing him, he'll be a consistent All-Star.

Fred needs to play Lopez and Holiday way less. Combined +34

QUOTE (greg775 @ Feb 8, 2018 -> 10:48 PM) I dunno. I always try to be respectful. My viciousness is in my takes sometimes but not directed at anybody on soxtalk proper. Because five years later, you still ignore people's arguments?

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Feb 8, 2018 -> 02:07 PM) Likewise Literally no one in my newsroom heard of this

Duncan and Coop. Oh my.

Vonleh definitely worth a flier

QUOTE (bmags @ Feb 8, 2018 -> 01:36 PM) Yes glad he was gone. Creating a TPE + pick swap came out well. Wasn't glad to have Reed near the roster.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Feb 7, 2018 -> 03:00 PM) Funny for a mod to say this. What is a political message board for? To discuss things. Greg's brain finds this topic appalling and interesting so he posts something. And it's bait? Thanks for indicating my contributions are worth nothing always. Eh, Greg. You're waaaaay over inflating this. You might as well gripe about sock hops.

Well, I'm giving Pelosi props. Extremely disappointed in the Senate.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Feb 7, 2018 -> 09:53 AM) Maybe he can wear a Military uniform to the parade. Maybe it'd actually be tailored.
